Create your Play List

One of the features users love best is the ability to create a Play List for children.

Grown-ups can create a profile for multiple children and save the activities and lessons they’ll love most.

When children hop onto their profile, voila! Their Play List is filled with fun, ready to go.

A Playbook for parents

Accessing expert knowledge about a child’s development can be costly and hard to access.

Accessing extra support for parents themselves can be even harder to find.

That’s where the Playbook can help. With video lessons from trusted experts, it’s an invaluable resource for navigating a child’s development and parental wellbeing.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver or professional we just know you’ll find the Playbook useful. It’s like a little lifeline in your pocket, in the moments you need it most.
